MoveOn.org Clueless

  •  November 30, 2005

Over the Thanksgiving weekend far-left activist group MoveOn.org had a commercial running bemoaning the fact that some of our troops weren’t home for the holiday, the President lied about pre-war intelligence, he has no plan for Iraq, etc., etc. The usual pap.
What’s interesting about this commercial, though, is that while the voiceover talks about the “American service men and women” the video pans over a picture of…British soldiers.

British Soldiers

I guess it is fitting that a group as clueless as MoveOn.org wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference between our soldiers and the soldiers of our allies.
Jason Smith has more, with a link to video of the commercial.
Update:
As per commenter This & That in the comments, check out the photoshop job MoveOn did on the Brit in shorts:

Hey, fake but accurate right?
Update:
They’ve pulled the ad.

    MoveOn has now photo shopped (on their home page) the man in shorts. He is now wearing pants.

    More ‘Fake but accurate’ BS I bet.

    &heellip; As well as a brickbat, I do throw a bouquet to Pajamas Media over the MoveOn.org doctored photo debacle, for showing how many blogs working together forced the lefties to abandon their “fake but accurate” attempt to smear the administration. &heellip;

    &heellip; Compiled by Pajamas Media staff in Los Angeles Wednesday, November 30, 2005 The blogosphere is agog over MoveOn.org’s doctoring of a photo of a British soldier in British military shorts to make him look like an American in long-legged fatigues for the organization’s new anti-war ad, which it has now pulled. As Mark in Mexico explains, first the group created a video that wrongly depicts “a scene in which a group of American soldiers are partaking of a meager Thanksgiving Day meal because they can’t be home for the holidays.” Then, GOP and College caught MoveOn compounding the fraud by altering the image for its online ad, replacing a British soldier’s inconveniently obvious British shorts with U.S.-style fatigues. Say Anything displays the shorts in full, Bad Example offers a side-by-side comparison (see accompanying photo) plus a visual critique entitled “Pants by MC Escher,” Generation Why links to the video, Michelle Malkin quotes the Army captain who spotted the fake and tipped off the Opinion Journal’s James Taranto. &heellip;

    You would think that if Moveon is using software to put people’s pants back on, they would start with Bill Clinton.
